CLIIN vertical robots enable efficient tank cleaning and data collection
lukas_m_ziegler · x · 2026-08-19
Vertical robots from CLIIN Robotics are revolutionizing industrial maintenance, particularly for cleaning tank farms, turbines, and ship cargo holds.
Key Features:
- Magnetic Adhesion: Uses strong magnetic connections to reach and clean high and tight structures, ensuring no corner is left untouched.
- Single-Operator Teleoperation: One human operator can control the robot, removing workers from hazardous environments and helping mitigate workforce shortages in the oil and gas industry.
- Data Collection: The robots collect data on the quality of the assets while cleaning, adding a digital layer to maintenance operations.
